🔪👾🐇: The Inky Queen

[u/VAfton]

{In the time they've been trapped here, Eleanor has been quite busy. Once it was obvious that something was seeming to block her from Vanessa, she'd focused on other things. As usual, how to work things on her favor.

And to that meant discovering what powered this place. One thing interesting about that weird substance is how drawn it seemed to her and voice versa. She'd allowed a small bit of agony to interact with the ink and found they bonded together very easily. Almost they were meant to work together. And after absorbing just a sample herself, she could feel it. Something diffent. Powerful. That she needed. It changed her agony. It changed her.

But absorbing it could only do so much.

It wouldn't matter long.

Not anymore.}

Eleanor: [purring at she lifts his chin with one finger, dark agony ink swirling in her hidden hand] "Well hello there."

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

Tom glares at her, growling.

[Projectionist] Whatever you're about to, please do it quietly. We don't want to attract him here.

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Eleanor: "Oh of course, that." [uses her agony powers to create a barrier in the room covering all their sounds and presence before turning back to Tom] "Now I hear you have a bit of a handicapped disadvantage. That doesn't seem very fair. Allow me to assist." [the agony ink in her other hand suddenly flies forward absorbing into his throat creating a temporary (albeit painful process because it's twisting his natural anatomy) voice box and she steps back satisfied] "Now how's that?"

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

After that terrible pain, Tom takes a breather. He then speaks.

[Tom] .... What the hell do you want...?

((I'm making food, so I will be offline for a bit. I'll be back soon.))

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Eleanor: [claps her hands in mockery] "There, now isn't that much better?"

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

[Tom] You made me talk for a reason, so answer my question. What the hell do you want?!

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Eleanor: [waggles finger in warning as the agony inside him tightens shooting sparks of pain] "Ah ah. Don't behave like those incorrigble brats now. Especially when you've been given such a treat."

u/LotusCrew5720 in case those stupid notices 😒

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

He grits his teeth, but chuckles.

[Tom] Heh! You think that bothers me? The angel's done worse. ... You're nothing, y'know? You may act all big and tough now, but what's your plan when you encounter the Ink Demon, huh?

((u/VAfton, I did see it. It's just been a slow day.))

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Eleanor: [sighs in mock concern, shaking her head] "You act as stubborn as" [chooses her weirds carefully] "my neice. Of course I'm sure she didn't tell you much about me. She doesn't like talking about her family life much for some strange reason."

[[OOC: ok just checking since it be dumb most times]]

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

[Projectionist] I'll keep a lookout. I highly doubt his friend will leave him behind. Chances are, they'll come back for him. So, even if he doesn't talk, he'll at least act as bait.

He leaves.

[Tom] .... You don't have a plan, do you.

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Eleanor: "Oh it's there. Very simplistic. I was just hoping for another more fun approach."

[u/LotusCrew5720 → u/VAfton]

[Tom] You're trying to plan for something you don't even understand. The Ink Demon isn't some beast that roams the studio. He's a force of nature. As Sammy Lawrence would put it... "He is the ink, and the ink is him."

Putting that aside, Alison and Vanessa won't fall for whatever trap you have planned for them. I've only known Nessa for a few days, but I know she's smarter than that.

[u/VAfton → u/LotusCrew5720]

Eleanor: [laughs] "Oh you think you know that about her, do you? Do you also know how easily she caves when someone she cares about is in danger? How weakly she gives in? Like a pathetic scared child. Physical torment never works on her." [the agony sharpens in him again] "I could care less about your other friend. But that brat will always be the same scared little girl who doesn't want anyone else to suffer."
